It’s one of the strongest materials used in construction, resistant to compression and tension and can be welded easily
But has the weakness that is oxidized, it loses strength in extremely high temperatures, as a function of temperature can contract, expand or merge.
However, corrosion is the biggest disadvantage because iron oxidizes it up very easily what increasing its volume and causing surface cracks that allow the progress of oxidation until the piece is completely consumed.
Steel in its various classes is overwhelmingly present in our daily lives even in the structures of the houses we live in, and in most modern buildings. It is commonly used in cables in suspension bridges, trusses, beams and columns in the skyscrapers and roller coasters.
Iron
Iron is a material heavier and stronger than steel but has a very similar cost.
Its strength conforms to any shape and is resistant to compression. However, it has weakness that is weaker in tension than steel, which can cause sudden rupture.
Is widely used in bridges and arches and in the development of cannons.
Corrugated steel
The Corrugated steel is a kind of rolled steel specially designed for building structural elements in civil works, these steel bars have ridges or corrugation that improve the adhesion to concrete. In addition, this has a high ductility and weldability, which allows that at the time of cutting and bending will not be damaged.
Is called Armor to a set of corrugated steel bars that form a functionally homogeneous, ie working together to resist a certain type of effort or the same function constructively.
The Corrugated steel through history has been used as structural support element various architectural works, one of the first in which it was used in the Eiffel Tower in France, it is also widely used in the elaboration of bridges.

NiNo dice: Hi sarahy!, how are you?
Sarahy Yamelis dice: hi ninoska...
NiNo dice: well, we have to the chat about iron and steel. so, What are the advantages of iron and steel over stone and brick?
Sarahy Yamelis dice: I think one of the advantages is that the iron and steel are lighter and less expensive to produce and transport ... moreover, are materials much easier to work with than biedra, for example .... and you???????
NiNo dice: yes i agree, also they can produce greater unsupported spans. and do you know that before the 20th century metals played an auxiliary rol?
Sarahy Yamelis dice: but to work with steel and iron need a lot more experince in the field and more physical strength to work with the brick for example .... yes i know, but is now almost one of the main materials used in construction what happens is that before had not discovered so many alloys like now .... this gives more advantages for use ....
NiNo dice: yes!, i thinks that the development of welding in the 20th century made it possible to produced fused joints with less labor and material. And it is the reason that steel its so popular now.
Sarahy Yamelis dice: is also now widely used as concrete, and it adheres more to the corrugated steel to stone, then you will use more this combination because is also more resistant than brick or stone with mortar .... especially for larger buildings .... you think that at some point the use of iron and steel is no longer so great ??????? I think not, and almost nothing is built without using these materials ....
NiNo dice: well I think before the 19th century cast iron was more used, but now, I think it has replaced by steel (because its high resistance in all stresses).
Sarahy Yamelis dice: yes, I agree with you ... as well as have a similar cost but steel is lighter but just as strong as iron, I think it is more favorable to use.
Steel
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon.
